A helping hand to Santa. For the first time, the Serre-Ponçon Val d'Avance Community of Communes is setting up a Christmas Gratiferia. This “ free fair » will be held this Wednesday afternoon in Saint-Etienne le Laus.
Children can bring stuffed animals, toys or even books in good condition. Everyone can leave with what they like. It is also possible to arrive empty-handed and find happiness. For the Community of Communes of Serre-Ponçon Val d'Avance, the objective is simple: reduce waste while offering a solidarity operation.
Each year, around 1,500 tonnes of waste are buried at Beynon in Ventavon underlines Coralie Gendre, project manager for the Community of Communes Serre-Ponçon Val d'Avance
“A day to consolidate social bonds while raising awareness of the importance of acting to reduce waste through donation and reuse”, C. Gendre
You have an appointment from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Saint Etienne Le Laus multipurpose room. Please note that only toys in good condition will be accepted. Collections are limited to five toys collected per family.
Note that the Mobil'Idées association will also be present this Wednesday. It will offer a sale of used bicycles but also a bicycle parts decoration workshop.
A new Grafiteria should be held on March 29, in La Bâtie-Neuve. Around thirty associations and companies will participate according to the CCSPVA.
